Anyone know how to setup RAID on an MSI Neo2 K8T?

Sourced.

Multiple Drive Arrays Setup
Raid 0
Raid 0+1

1. Hook up the drives to serial port 1/2/3/4. You will experience a better overclock if you plan to do so. Put the drive on ports 3 or 4. For 0+1 1/2/3/4 will be used and overclocking will not be as likely.
2. Very first thing we will do is boot into the BIOS and go into “Standard CMOS Features”
3. Check to make sure your drive is located on what SATA channel you have the drive plugged into
4. Go into “Integrated Peripherals”
5. Press ENTER on “ Onboard Devices”
6. Press ENTER on “RAID Config”
7. Locate the “SATA1/2/3/4 RAID” make sure whatever port your hard drives are plugged into are enabled.
8. Return to “Onboard Devices” menu
9. Locate the SATA1/SATA2 – SATA3/SATA4 and enable these options.


10. From here we will exit/save
11. Upon posting you will now see the NVIDIA Raid Bios and press F10 to enter.
12. Here you will see your new drives located on the left side of the 2 panels “Free Disks” and “Array Disks”.
13. If you will be doing a Stripping or Raid 0 you should have 2/4 drives here use your right arrow key and make them both go over to Array Disks.
14. Make sure the Raid mode is Stripping for Raid 0 or if doing Raid 0+1 or Mirroring with 4 drives please make this change now.
15. For Stripping I would leave it at 64k until you better understand these options.
16. Mirroring leave it optimal or 64k.
17. Hit F7 (Finish) to create the array of your choice.
18. You will now see an “Array List”; as long as the drive is listed as healthy we are good.
19. CTRL-X to Exit. The computer should reboot.
20. We need to go directly into the bios right after the system posts.
21. Go into “ Advanced BIOS Features”
